Our Team

Aydan Greatrick is our Project and Communications Coordinator.

Our team also consists of nine local researchers in the Middle East and an advisory panel of experts, practitioners and partner organisations who advise on and contribute to the analysis of the project’s research data, findings and dissemination. We are also supported by our Writer in Residence, Yousif M. Qasmiyeh.
